Registered sex offenders are currently banned from living within community safety zones around schools, parks, and other protected locations, with limited exceptions. This bill updates the "grandfather clause" exception, allowing offenders who established residences before July 1, 2024 to continue living there, whereas the old law only protected those who moved in before July 1, 2006. The change essentially extends the deadline by 18 years for when sex offenders can grandfather in their existing residences within these restricted zones.
